All very good points on the cables and grounding however no one asked you if you had the points set properly and the timing properly set. Make sure you are getting proper voltage to the coil and to the distributor as well.
One more thing,, how good is the battery you have?


There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.
